The Care and Naming of Hawkes by M_A_V, Saiya_tina, Ywain Penbrydd (penbrydd)
Fandoms: Dragon Age II, Dragon Age - All Media Types
20 May 2017
Tags
Summary
Among the common people of Ferelden, accidents, disease, and malnutrition frequently end the lives of young children. The tradition, therefore, became to name a healthy child in their second or third year. Malcolm Hawke's second child is due within days, by the time he takes his first to the Chantry, to be named. The tradition continues, and the second takes the nameless place of the first, until it is his turn.

Summary
Sort of a prequel to Rhapsody in Ass Major, so there are three of Hawke. Warning for gruesome but not terribly explicit application of Crushing Prison.
Malcolm Hawke had always expected one of his children would be a mage. It was nearly inescapable, between Leandra's family and himself. But, he hadn't expected this.

Summary
In theory, Nathaniel's meant to learn swordsmanship, marry Elissa Cousland, and become the Arl of Amaranthine. At least, that's what he's expected to do. But, mostly, Elissa lays him out on the practise field and laughs hysterically at his misfortune -- until they get a little older and she finds other things to do with her wins.

The Pranksters of Kinloch Hold by Ywain Penbrydd (penbrydd)
Fandoms: Dragon Age - All Media Types
25 Jul 2020
Tags
Summary
The Circle of Magi was an unforgiving environment to grow up in, and while some mages thrived in its tightly-structured confines, others threw themselves out the windows of the upper storeys, just to be sure they'd never have to go back. In between were the ones who grated at the edges, secretly indulging in everything from the basic facets of life denied them to the study of forbidden magics, from wild escape attempts to filling the templar barracks with bees. These were the Pranksters of Kinloch Hold.

Theron Mahariel left his clan, a few summers ago, on a quest for the shemlen of his dreams, who'd gone off in the night, with the rest of that family.

Yet Another Thing We're Not Talking About Sober by Ywain Penbrydd (penbrydd)
Fandoms: Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening, Dragon Age - All Media Types
12 Aug 2015
Tags
Summary
Anders has some unusual desires, sometimes, and he's not so good at 'no', when it's an implication and not a command. Nate's too drunk to catch on that Anders really means it, and keeps trying to brush off the demand as a joke.
(This is referenced a couple of times in Rhapsody in Ass Major, and I figured I should get off my ass and write it.)
----------
"You seem to be under the mistaken impression," Anders started, and Nathaniel hated the way Anders could string together complicated sentences while too drunk to commit the evening to memory, "that your need to pass water somehow requires me to get off your knob."

Fandoms: Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening
13 Aug 2016
Tags
Summary
Nathaniel Howe is the latest in a long line of assholes, but at least he's not a traitor. Anders is reflexively disgusting and antagonistic, but no one dies on his watch -- not even the dead guy. In some ways, they deserve each other, and every other break the Wardens cut them.
